AutoAlert Announces the Launch of its New iPhone Congestion Charge Application

AutoAlert today announced the launch of its iPhone Congestion Charge Application which allows you to check whether you are in the London Congestion Charging Zone and then pay via your phone. If you forget to pay, a reminder text message is sent to your phone at the end of the day. The application is available for download through iTunes. Alternatively, a small AutoAlert vehicle tracking unit can be used instead of an iPhone.

London, United Kingdom, June 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- AutoAlert today announced the launch of its new Congestion Charge Application which allows you to check whether you have entered the London Congestion Charging Zone and if so, pay for the charge. If you forget to pay, a reminder text message is sent to your phone at the end of the day.

“£36 million has been collected from 400,000 people already this year” says Asheet Advani, Commercial Director of AutoAlert. “By utilising the power of the iPhone and AutoAlert, we can reduce the penalties for people who simply didn't know that they were in the London Congestion Charging Zone, or just forgot to pay.”

The AutoAlert iPhone Congestion Charge application works by sending its location to the AutoAlert system. This then confirms whether the iPhone is in the London Congestion Charging Zone and replies back with confirmation. Clicking the Pay Button in the application generates a text message payment or connects you to the Congestion Charging Call Centre. If no payment is attempted, AutoAlert will send a text message reminder to your phone at a time of your choosing.

The application is available now through the iTunes store for less than £5. The reminder service, along with additional reports, maps and features is also available for just £5 per month on a pay as you go basis. The system can also be accessed using an AutoAlert GPS Vehicle Tracking device.

AutoAlert is an award-winning leap forward in vehicle tracking and protection technology. Traditional systems require an expensive tracking unit, complicated installation and ongoing subscriptions. AutoAlert is different. The AutoAlert iPhone application is available for free through iTunes whilst the Group application can be downloaded for under £5. AutoAlert is simple to use whilst still providing all the benefits of more complicated systems. With real time vehicle tracking, reporting and alerts, AutoAlert is an ideal option for vehicle fleets ranging in size from one vehicle up to thousands of vehicles.
